How many years experience for those engineers you mentioned?

Find one rich ckp and get marry

Not fresh grad is it??

5k? Youuuu kidding? Stories here says you earn 6 digits per month.

You see how those liang teh shop in the malls are charging like 3-5 dollar per bowl?

Maybe liang teh is more costly here.


I think it's because of the efficiency. Many shops down here don't even cook barley or liang teh like those in KL usually does. They just do teh, kopi, 钓鱼 etc.

That's what I find la

Don't forget need to wait 1 year before resubmitting.

Batam, bintang, JB, Kukup, Melaka, Penang, Langkawi, KL all makes fine weekend getaway

But sometimes just lazy go get out of bed

Hope in 5 years time I can have that level of salary *day dreaming*

Why? Malaysia Blue IC + 2.5k up salary + degree = almost guaranteed EP. Why must get experience?

A handful of my colleagues here including myself got in fresh with above criteria.

He's saying EP eh... Not PR.

If PR then you're right.

Threshold 3300 but still can get in as long as you got the degree as a Malaysian.

What's so great? You holding Malaysian IC?

It's obvious there's a lot of preference for Malaysian compared to other countries like Philippines Indonesia Myanmar Bangladesh, India, PRC & even Taiwan. Whether on EP/SP or PR.

The reason behind? I don't know. Need to ask the governments.

Oh and BTW... It has increased to $3600 from $3300 starting this year.

MOM also has this tool that will help you assess whether you can get SP or EP. Maybe you can try play with it see what they offer based on the criteria you keyed in.

I'm just trying to express that even less than so called "requirement", it's doable for us to get EP. I got in 3 years back with just barely 2.5k when the requirement for salary was at 3.3k.

Actually does the P1/P2 thing still applies?

Not really listed now in their EP page. Google search does bring up something but it's from few years back.

Anyway... Already on PR Why bother?

http://www.mom.gov.sg/passes-and-permits/e...the-pass-issued

So apparently it's slightly different from what you said.

Seems like the notification letter is something done by the HR. It's listed there to upload a pdf copy of the medical report though.

Yes maybe need to complete medical check up but not necessary go for thumb print. The notification letter has a 4 weeks period for the applicant to go arrange for thumb print while they can start work within that period with the notification letter and IPA.

Same same but different

Getting PR is good for one thing... SG will be more like a second home rather than just barely a place to work.

Being on EP you lose the freedom of job hopping (not saying that it's good) and sense of security. It's a give and take thing. You won't feel like someone else has control of your life that if you make them unhappy they can just threaten to cancel your permit (as if taking your permit away to live here) but looking it another way, you lose the protection by MOM.

Another thing is the CPF contribution. I'm from East Malaysia. For the time being I still see that I would probably go back to East Malaysia for the rest of my life probably in another 10-15 years. Good thing is... If I made up my mind to not come back to SG for work anytime soon, I can choose to give up my PR and reclaim all my CPF. Even if I chose not to take it back, I can leave it in CPF and take it as another form of savings and retrieve it at a later date. At least in the foreseeable future SGD is still less volatile compared to MYR. Why not?

I'm still a free man and don't really need that extra cash with me every month. Just let CPF take it lo

Extra protection under Medishield also what.


Other perks...

Get to go to all Museum and most exhibitions for free: https://www.nhb.gov.sg/whats-on/admission/overview

One of the reasons why I've never been to any SG Museum yet

Oh ya... If one day decided to start up something, PR can do it. You can't do it while you're on EP.

That one is not appreciate talent. Always the case here .

Soon in NUS you see they testing flying drones for package delivery. Imaging next time your items get delivered on drones. Can open window ask the drone to just drop the parcel into the house?

You can try

There's not liang teh here also. They're lazy

How about "oo-bek"? Aka michael jackson aka 黑白

We got call that in Malaysia? I myself don't think my place got use those words above la.

Here can call white and black and white black. Soya milk stall

Speaking of which... I'm still reluctant and lazy to convert my M'sia license

Actually... I'm really curious... How to claim all those miles one? And how those Miles translate to your booking.

Really goes by "Miles"? Like SG to Seoul say 3000 miles then you just pay 3000 miles will do?

Then does the Miles cover everything or just the ticket price but not including all the airport taxes etc?

Sorry really noob here My base salary haven't reach 50k p.a. yet. Most air miles card require to be 50k p.a.

I don't even qualify for any of the air miles card

Let alone spending so much on cc

Don't mind the spending part but the qualify part is true eh... Based on the websites' requirement I can't meet the annual salary range just yet.


Eh wrong... Got 3 cards can apply.

DBS Altitude OCBC Titanium Rewards AMEX SIA KrisFlyer

But still don't think i going to get it yet. Just got 2 other cards from OCBC probably use for few months first only see how it goes.

But for the time being I am not capable of using all cc at once. Now stick to OCBC (at least for the first 2 years which annual fee is waived) as I'm also using ocbc 360 account. Can get extra 0.6% on the savings account.

My expenses on card each month probably max out at 500+- only so not really aiming for any Cashback. The extra interest I get from the savings is sort of like the best Cashback for me d and it shows up in my savings account as cash. It's almost equivalent to 3-4% Cashback.

If pay the cc bill before the bill is even issued?

This month just got my ocbc cc x 2. In order to get the OCBC360 bonus, decided to just pay $50 for each card first although the bill is not out yet

Accumulated 2 bills for my account

Not Giro but "Pay Any Bills".

Yes it's counted. Impossible the bank award you for paying other banks' cc bill but not your own one what. Somemore is paid with our savings.

See below reply. Never mention must be GIRO. It's pay bills online OR GIRO.

That one is spend bonus, I also entitled to that for this month. Spent more than 500 d.

The one I referring to is payment bonus.

PAYMENT
0.3%per year
Pay at least 3 bills online or through GIRO with a total amount of at least S$150.

I'm unattached here in SG. No other bills ATM. Previously only Singtel bill. Now 2 more credit cards from OCBC which is counted as one bill each

The spend bonus and the payment bonus is not linked. Whether you spend 500 or not as long as you make 3 bills payment more than $150 in total then can get d, vice versa.

I have quite savings in the 360 account that's why ATM I think it's the most worth until someday when I decide to take that cash out for investment or purchase other things. For the time being such setup should be the best for me. Taking the additional 0.6% interest on my savings as cash back, it's like around 5% cash back equivalent if I spend around 500-600 per month on the credit card. Why not?



Btw... Just ytd saw the DBS SAYE account. It works a bit different. You also need to debit salary + 5 transactions on POSB/DBS CC (no minimum specified as far as i know).

But you can start with a higher initial deposit. It works by taking money from your main account monthly from $100 - $3000.

Effective interest will be around 4% after 2 years. Better than most FD in SG

Yes but they have first 2 years fee waiver. 2 years is a long time. Already set the reminder about 2 years from now to cancel the card
